The War Within is just around the corner but we cannot deny the WoW community remains very cynical of the game. As Blizzard steps into this expansion, what are they doing to win back the players and most importantly… Should you play it?

If you accept the wow token, then you're an idiot.
To me personally M+ Ruined wow because as a casual player that does his normal and heroic clears more like social events to put a timer on the dungeons (that atleast for heroic) you still need to get youre gear turns something relaxing into something Competitive no bathroom breaks no chill dungeon run. By the time we used to have a funny banther about the last raid we discuss the next pull.
u made a long video about not playing this game. why are u covering this?
that's it? forget? lol you drones accept anything
Its the same garbage. The lore is destroyed. The game play is boring. The class flavor is bad and bloated every class can do everything. If blizzard sold level cap and all quests completed people would buy it. Blizzard should just offer all epic geared maxed out characters for 1000 dollars. It would be funny to watch everyone complain but everyone buys it. No one actually wants a MMO RPG adveture game.
Every wow expanse is the same. You either like the game play loop of leveling, mythic+, and raids or you don't. There's way better ways to consume the lore than playing the mmo.
Delves and Hero Talents were two huge features that I have thought WoW needed for years. I haven't played TWW (didn't play much of DF either) and so far what I'm hearing is those two things are very underwhelming.
I forgot all about it after letting my subscription expire. Honestly dude I'm feeling kinda burnt out. Dragon flight kinda felt like a huge waste of time like a going to the beach episode in a TV show. It didn't get me hyped for the war within cause I kinda tuned out during the ending of the expansion. My core issues still haven't been resolved which is the fact that wow feels less like a world and more like a theme park that's being poorly maintained. Sure the park gots a shiny new ride but the old out of date ones are still around and barely functional. I would really like to see a world revamp that updates old zones to reflect the current expansion
I didnt play all the bs people are complaining about so I’m digging it really
I might care about the characs if they didn't scuttle my 2 favorite ones Yrel and Ysera
I bought it, and didnt like it. Tried to refund but was rejected.
You make some valid points that I have to agree with because of the poor writing for so many years. These characters have been dragged through the mud to the extreme and it is very hard to pull them out of that. It will take time and we have to wonder if Blizzard will have the patience for it because that is key. It will be rough to get them out of there and it won't hit right away even with stellar story so will they give it the time to do that?
Plus as you said the pacing needs to be better all around on the story as the gaps are just horrible. It brings you out of it but another issue I think that is far bigger is that a MAJORITY of the story does not happen in the game. They have time and time again put it into the books and then referenced it with a hand wave in the game. So you had no idea how they got so powerful or why this action was so emotional for them. This needs to stop because games like GW2 the books compliment the story but at no point does it force that into the game. They are just wonderful additions that do not leave those just playing the games with "What the hell happened?!" syndrome. So when a character that was bigger in the book shows up it is a nice nod and it does not leave those playing the game with the above.
As you said as well. The grass is greener on the other side. I have been in and out of WoW since Cata because of the player base just as much as the story being bad. Blizzard needs to combat this toxic community mindset and make it a thing they always do. Because while there are bad players in every game? They are not rewarded in other games. You see bans happen Final Fantasy and Guild Wars 2 down the road. Players get punished for being super racist by the developers. While the community itself also policies the toxic must be top DPS 24/7 mindset. So you end up wanting to help each other. WoW's community nor developers do any of this. There are long-term toxic player names known on servers. Along with groups booting you over the smallest of things. Like the other night on stream when you got booted for accidently pulling a SINGLE MOB! WoW is famous for toxicity and Blizzard needs to start fighting that if they hope to keep people here because they've now tasted that it can be better.
That said this is a wall of text. Maybe we can do what you said and set somethings aside but they also need to acknowledge that it was bad and reference it less. Because that is what things like comics/books do with retcons. Because as long as they constantly reference it the wound isn't going to really heal. I'll give it a shot but only as a side thing because I'm not a twenty something with the patience to wait a decade anymore for it. We are getting older and I'd like to see some stories wrap up BEFORE I die of old age.
I would love to see some new classes. None of the character classes particularly intrigue me, especially with the clunky animations and effects.
Until they figure out how scaling is the devil and makes the world less fun and instancing less fun…. ill play ESO since they have scaling figured out and done correctly. fuk this M+ rushrushrush game
The writing problem is fundamental, not just contextual. Look at the dialogue; you can hear the writer in every character. This sounds like the typical hyperbole, but they literally need to hire new writers to fix this problem.
If blizzard "war on cynism" start with MORE GIRLBOSS focus in the story, then I fear they aren't going to win that war any time soon as they are clearly not understanding where the warfront is.
Going through the zones at the start of an expansion, doing your world building in the form of zone-specific quests, is a form of MMO exposition dumping that's just terrible.
I have massive issues with how 14 tells its story, but I do appreciate that it's front loaded, giving them time to flesh out the world afterwards while prepping for the next expansion.
The world of gay craft.
No, you shouldn't.
the game has sucked for a very long time and blizzard has had plenty of chances to fix that. the time to quit giving blizzard any more chances was atleast a decade ago
I'll pass on the Bore Within. I've already seen the strong women replacing all the male characters thing done before.
Should just rebrand your channel Sausage Riding Gaming after this video lol
They fully cucked Anduin for Faeorolina tgis one armed Woman who doesnt need a second arm cause she grew up with one and she is too good for it. Its just sad all the wokeness and bs put into our games.
I got 2 characters to 80 and this expansion is OK but in all honesty kinda boring with terrible scaling and not all that great thought out quest design lots of fetch and go quest and Torghast 2.0 (Delves) is ok design but Bran causes lot issues agroing or just doing dumb things. Professions are just more the same nothing special. PvP is still red headed step child of retail. Hero talents for decent amount classes is just boring passives.
5/10. It's ok and still needs lots of work. Hopefully some changes in near future.
Anyone saying Anduin is a sissy or pussy, I really pity them. Not being able to emphasize with another person's pain, and not being okay with expressing emotions.
Keep in mind that Anduin went off by himself (he didn't make a scene at his throne or anything like that) because of the twisted and terrible things the jailor made him do. He's pissed at himself, disappointed, disgusted, lost all faith in himself. You don't think that'd be you in that situation? "Pull yourself up from your bootstraps man" fuck, get real. You see another man cry and say "pfft, men don't cry" because you've never been taught how to express that side of you, probably even when you are by yourself.
People go through painful things, often that we've never experienced or seen. We should put ourself in their place and empathise with them, and if you don't know how, stop and think about it for yourself. Therapy or counseling could help too.
The game looks like it’s still dripping with soy.
"They're really trying!" I don't care. They've been "really trying" for years now. I'm done.
I hope they fix it, but I'm not interested. The IP is damaged, not just the game. In my opinion it needs a reboot and I don't trust current Blizzard to do it properly.
A big problem for me is how hard it is to start fresh and get a coherent story. I stopped during Cata and its almost impossible to pick back up narratively. In FFXIV I just continue MSQ. In WoW… I have noooo idea. Blitz to dragonflight? Start from Shadowlands? Watch more story recaps? This should be smooth like xiv or clearly broken up like GW2. Its a mess…
Idk, but I sent a ticket about a server offline issue (blz page said online but the whole region was indeed under maintainence), and it turned out the support was just copying and pasting something. I immediately cancelled by sub because their CS hasn't changed since last time I quit
Hair and body looking good boi
I skipped almost all of Shadowlands. It was boring. I even prefer BFA to it. Legion was the best thus far in the modern era.
My favorite character is Skitter and the kobolds. I'll protect them with my life! 🐁🕯️
If they want WoW hype again they need Warcraft 4.
The old artstyle in WoW was evocative of warcraft 3. The first 2 expansions dealt with warcraft 3 villians, the 3rd dealt with a warcraft 2 and beloved novel villian, the 4th brought to life a joke from warcraft 3.
WoW needs the hype from its RTS roots.
Never cared about the history, never will. I'm there to play a game, cut scenes mean nothing , story means very little, the gameplay is usually unaffected.
wow retail🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not watched preach in years. Looks like he’s been hitting gym 💪🏻
